grilled salmon

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Salmon Fillet, skin on or off
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
4. Brush the herb mixture generously over the entire salmon fillet.
5. Place salmon on the preheated grill, skin side down if using skin-on fillet.
6. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
7. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

• For best results, use a cedar plank to grill the salmon – it imparts a smoky flavor.
• If using a gas grill, maintain a consistent temperature for even cooking.
• To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before placing the salmon on the grill.
• Store leftover grilled salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a crispier skin, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes after grilling.
